Polite//l.s

I've always been taught to hold my head high, to look presentable- to look better; to be better.
I've always been told that to win, I have to be better than the others; turn everything into a competition worth winning.
I've always been forced to be polite.
But how can I compete? How can I rise above when I'm caught up in being nice to everyone I meet?
